I guard my treasures: my thoughts, my will, my freedom. And the greatest of these is freedom.
Ayn RandTo say ‘I love you’ one must first know how to say the ‘I.’ The meaning of the ‘I’ is an independent, self-sufficient entity that does not exist for the sake of any other person. A person who exists only for the sake of his loved one is not an independent entity, but a spiritual parasite. The love of a parasite is worth nothing.
Ayn RandHappiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values.
